Excerpt:
Stefania Garassini: From which domain will the "Griffith", the "Fellini"of new media come from?
Lev Manovich: They have already come from all cultural domains. Many of the most celebrated cultural objects of our time are made with computers: for instance, Frank Gehry’s architecture, Merce Cunningham’s choreography, Andreas Gursky’s photography. These and countless other artists use computer as a tool, so they don't call their work new media – but nevertheless, without computer they would not be able to make their aesthetic discoveries.
